Would you??
We live in what used to be one 4 storey Victorian terraced house, that is now split into 4 flats, one on top of the other. Ours is at the top.
New neighbours have just moved into the bottom flat. I met them for the first time a couple of days ago although know *of* them through some mutual friends. They've asked hubby and I over for a glass of wine one evening in the next couple of weeks to meet them properly.
Be honest - do you think it's wrong of me to consider leaving Maya (11 weeks) asleep in her cot while we are downstairs?? Obviously i would take the monitor and peg it upstairs if she woke. She goes down at 7 / 7.30pm and doesn't stir until I wake her for a feed at 10 / 10.30pm. I expect we would pop downstairs at around 8pm and stay for around an hour. Part of me thinks it's probably not right, but an identical house opposite hasn't been converted and is one big family house (lucky beggars!).

Tbh only you know how safe she will be and how comfortable you would feel. Xx
Thanks for the reply. Yes, inviting them to ours would definitely be the best option, and likely what we'll suggest ) Best get those skirting boards polished - ha!
I guess I was sort of curious as to what people thought as 'acceptable' in this sort of situation. Obviously, a quick drink isn't worth getting het up about, but it just got me thinking and I realised I wasn't sure whether I thought it was right or wrong!
The monitor does work so it would be possible....
The closest my skirting boards get to a polish is when Adam wees on them!

Thanks for the other replies (think we were posting at the same time).
Expect we'll invite them to ours this time, and save the dilemma for another day!
I'm always pondering things like this, like whether I should leave LO in the car when I pay for petrol....
I dont think it would be a problem leaving lo upstairs but i know that i would personally worry and wouldnt be able to relax, so just go with what you feel most comfortable with.
hope you have a nice time when you see them xx
However if you wouldn't relax then it'd prob be best to have them at your's so you can enjoy yourselves a bit more.

I just don't see why people would risk it? Such precious cargo!

I found it hard to put them upsteirs on their own when they were small! lol! Neurotic mother alert!
I think it's different if lo was asleep and you were popping down to drop off something...but an hour is quite a while. If you have doubts about it I wouldnt do it.
I do leave lo in the car to get petrol though...
